here I am again with another exciting question :s Either way, I was playing with the status options a bit, and the longer I stared at them, the more confused I got: even when I put the status of a topic on 'in progress' it still gets published when I generate what I have already finished.

How is that? Is the status flag only used for the programmer to remind him/her that s/he's still's got to finish this topic up? Or does it have another (more useful) use too?
